August, 2016. The NFL is being shaken by Colin Kaepernick's monumental decision. While other players join him in taking a knee, star running back Luis Moreno is all about his game – and his pay check. A record-breaking season is in sight... but America's leadership is changing. When a destructive new reality hits close to home, Luis is forced to ask whether politics have a place on the field, and if he is willing to risk his career to take a stand for his own community.

Pravin Wilkins' stunning debut play was the winner of the 2020 Theatre503 International Playwriting Award. It was chosen out of 1,719 scripts sent in from 45 countries by a group of independent readers, the 503 team and a panel comprising Erica Whyman (Chair of Theatre503 and deputy artistic director, RSC), producer Caro Newling, actor/director Daniel Evans, arts journalist and reviewer Sam Marlowe, playwrights Roy Williams and Vinay Patel, and Theatre503 artistic director Lisa Spirling.
REVIEWS:

"Wilkins’ writing feels fresh in its focus on racism in sport."

 The Guardian

"The play is as much about politics as it is about the macro impacts on the players’ personal lives of their micro actions on the pitch."

 The Stage

"Through powerful use of language and smart choices in the narrative, Wilkins attacks his theme like a master debater."

 Reviews Hub

"Hugely entertaining and politically sparky."

 Evening Standard

"A satisfying debut from Pravin Wilkins... This is a compelling evening of theatre that is enjoyable even for those who don’t know the first thing about American football."
